Brake lights mounted to bumper: legal or not?

[Gotenntitans]

I suspect that the officers used me & my old truck to do a routine paper check. Did I mention that the young lady officer asked why I wasn’t wearing my shoulder seatbelt?

Yes, I would have preferred that the brake lights be fixed back to normal. The instrument panel lights don’t work either, so it’s really dark in the cab driving at night. Related?
